Lemons

Do lemons make your stomach acid?  Many people think that lemons are very acidic.  What you have to understand is that during digestion lemons have an alkaline affect on the body.

            Lemons are a tremendous antiseptic, preventing infection and putrefaction. Not only will a lemon clean your cutting board of any impurity, it will also clean your digestive tract of all infection.  Lemon juice (fresh squeezed) is also a great liver cleanser and works as a solvent for uric acid and other poisons.

            The average size lemon contains 16 mg phosphorus, 2 mg sodium, 26 mg calcium, 138 mg potassium, 53 mg Vit C, .6 grm iron.  This makes them good for asthma, gas, colds, cough, sore throat, flu, heartburn, liver complaints, scurvy, fevers, rheumatism.

            Lemons build bones and teeth and nourish the brain and nerve cells.  To aid digestion about 1 tablespoon of juice in a cup of hot water will stimulate the stomach and liver.  A teaspoon of lemon juice in 4 oz of water might relieve heartburn.  A lemonade fast is very healing, helping the lungs, liver, stomach and pancreas.

In one quart container add the juice from 6 lemons (about 1 cup) and ¼ cup of honey then fill with distilled water.  Drink two quarts of the lemonade and 2 quarts of distilled water by bedtime. This will give you about 1200 calories, enough to do light work in a normal day.  Do this for three days.  It will balance your system and help your body to detox.

            Remember, lemons are a great way to stay healthy, naturally.
